Teacher

Three different Montana Schools • Full-time

Aug 1974 - Jun 201237 yrs 10 mos

Throughout my teaching career, I taught all elementary grades from kindergarten through eighth grade, specializing in English and communication arts. In the final years of my career, I served on the committee that developed the county's communication arts curriculum. Having taught children aged five to fourteen and read the same books they enjoyed, I am well acquainted with the types of literature that resonate with these students.

    I happened to write several children's books recently. I asked Vickie to edit my draft. She did another fantastic work on this imaginative story. Thank you Vickie.

    I chose the premium option and had a great experience. She improved my story while keeping my writing style. Communication was clear and consistent. She let me know when she would get started on my order, and delivered early. Her suggestions were helpful, and she was professional and straightforward....

    I recently wrote some children's books, and I want to publish them. I have never written any books of any kind before. Vickie's experience as a teacher and fluency in English made my stories a lot better. I am now sure that my manuscripts have been taken great care of. Thank you, Vickie.

    I appreciate Vickie's experience in children's books. She helped me turn my rough draft into a nice manuscript. She, as a teacher, helped my story to be readable by young kids or be a bedside story. Thank you, Vickie.
